This home is absolutely amazing. Lauren was very responsive and answered all my questions about the area. We were there for a Mayo Clinic visit and the home is 10 minutes away with easy access. My dog loved the huge backyard. The house was spotless and very comfortable. We will be sure to stay here in the future. Thank you Lauren for your hospitality.

This was a perfect home for us to relax with our dogs (spacious back yard for retrieving exercise) and family games and barbecues with our relatives in the area. We stayed a month and enjoyed the birds - osprey hunting in pond outback every evening along with all kinds of bluebirds and warblers. Fun. The house was stocked well and five minutes from grocery shopping and bagels and smoothies. My husband even got a month at the fitness center which was an easy bike ride away. Lauren was always responsive. Thank you

Truly 5 stars for doggy owners; the yard is amazing for getting the zoomies out. The furniture could use a little love, though. The couch pieces separate easily and the slats in the bed didn’t attach, causing one corner of the bed to droop. However, not a deal killer.

Nice stay!
My family and I needed a dog-friendly rental for the weekend while I moved in to my new apartment just right down the street. We didn’t spend much time at the rental but overall still had a great and easy experience booking and communicating with Lauren! The house is in a cute neighborhood and convenient to The Beaches. I would say the furniture has some wear and tear that could benefit from being updated/replaced but that doesn’t stop me from still giving this place a 5/5 rating. Thanks Lauren!

Great experience
We had a wonderful stay at the deckhouse. The house was very clean and supplied extra towels and bedding. The check-in process was very easy. The most exciting was this house is only 5 minutes from the beach. I would recommend this house.

You are a 10!
First the host/owner is exceptional! I had few questions before I booked and she replies in a very timely manner. Second, the place is just SUPER LOVELY! It is located in a quiet place. As we walked in, we are so impressed with the functionality, the simplicity and the coziness. The rooms are large enough to accommodate families. The vintage lights is one of my favorites and the ceiling fans in each room are very functional especially when you’re in FL during summer. The touch lamps in the masters bedroom are neat. Wall mounted rain shower heads on both baths are nice to have & both bathrooms are spotless clean. The living room is very cozy as it offers a positive vibe every day. Third, the deck & the backyard! Oh how our fur brats love to sprint and play. The yard is well fenced, well manicured and well kept. We mostly cooked our food outside since we preferred to grill our protein and air fry (for the fur brats). Fourth, the breakfast nook turned to be my favorite spot to start the day with coffee, then business and other matters later. Lastly, my wife can’t just say enough how the place is very very well thought of.
We really love this place! We enjoyed our stay. Deck house off Atlantic beach, you deliver! You are a 10! Ms. Lauren, you Rock!
